4.0 out of 5 stars
Chunky durable and different, September 24, 2010
This review is from: Freestyle USA Shark Buzz 2.0 Watch (Misc.)
I've had this watch for about 6 months now, took it surfing in California and kayaking in Texas, as well as hiking and just general wear. The vibration function is very noticable, and the beeping is audible as well. The vibration is actually so powerful that, if I leave the watch on a desk or table when the alarm goes off, it is audible across the room - akin to most cell phone vibrate functions.
The two alarms are nice, the countdown feature works (I agree with another reviewer who wishes there was a countdown/then up feature I've seen in Casio or Timex watches in the past), and the backlight is bright enough for any occassion.
Obviously, this rather chunky watch is not meant for dress wear, but it's not distracting in usual situations, so it works well as a general-purpose watch. I particularly like the large digits for my aging eyes to pick out quickly.

Good timepiece, but not durable, May 31, 2010
This review is from: Freestyle USA Shark Buzz 2.0 Watch (Misc.)
I bought this watch from the PX/BX in afghanistan originally, as a replacement to my old g-shock(G3108) watch, which finally bit the bucket ((after 12 years)) And I am severely dissapointed. Within 24 hours the watch had scratches on the face, from some light brushes against equipment. So much as a single scratch makes this watch fairly difficult to read. The vibration function is supposed to be very good for alerting the hard of hearing, but I never feel it, and i know i have it on. The backlight is barely bright enough to read the time on a pitch black night, and the band is uncomfortable. I will definitely be going back to g-shock watches

Nice watch but .., August 28, 2011
Its a bit bulky and feels heavy on wrist. It does not have a glass face either its plastic. The plastic makes it feel cheapie for a high end sports watch. The vibrations are strong enough, but I wish I could set them for the alarm only and not have them go off every hour.
